Biotechnology is currently developing across borders rapidly and simultaneously. New equipment is continuously developed and refined to improve production processes and quality control associated with obtaining the most diverse bioproducts such as biosurfactants, natural dyes, antioxidants and antibiotics. There is no industrial biotechnological process that works generically and each requires particular solutions that can sustain a good scale up from scientific and technological points of view.
State-of-the-art centrifuges and decanters "taylor made" with high commercial value have a prominent place in unit operations for the separation of micro-organisms of interest or the culture medium containing bioproducts or only for clarification of the final product as in the industrial procurement of wine.
High-sensitivity flow cytometers with cellular recognition capability utilizing information on biochemical composition, shape and size help in screening and sorting out new strains of microorganisms to be grown for the discovery of promising new molecules (e.g. antivirals to fight HIV).
On the other hand, the huge variety of new newly synthesized reagents – molecular probes – has been assisting in the detection and quantification of target molecules "in situ", an extremely important fact for rapid evaluation and intervention throughout bioprocesses with short production cycles.
The company Life Technologies Corporation (Figure 1), recently acquired by Thermo Fisher Scientific, has available in its catalog of molecular probes 35 reference standards for flow cytometry at the disposal of the international scientific community, in addition to other catalogs containing hundreds of other equipment, kits and reagents.

Background: Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) has been considered as a major health problem worldwide given the high incidence of the infection, estimated to be 131 million new cases annually. The aim of the current study was to determine the prevalence of CT infection in female sex workers (FSWs) living in Isfahan, Iran and risks associated with its prevalence.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, which was conducted on 99 FSWs recruited from two drop-in centers (DIC) in Isfahan during 2012-2014. The attendees were recruited consecutively. Vaginal, rectal, saliva and urine samples were tested for CT using Real-time PCR. The demographic data were gathered by face to face interview.
Results: Prevalence of Chlamydia infection was 20.2% (20/99). The number of people who had more than one sexual partner in the CT-positive group was significantly higher than CT-negative (P= 0.042). The percentage of women whose duration of intimate relationship lasted more than three years was higher in the Chlamydia-positive population compared to Chlamydia-negative (70% vs 35.4%, p=0.005). Furthermore, Chlamydia-negative and Chlamydia-positive FSWs differed from one another in the history of imprisonment (11.4 % in Chlamydia-negative vs 35% in Chlamydia-positive group, p=0.017).
Conclusion: The prevalence of CT infection was high among FSWs. Our findings showed that prison experience, the number of sexual partners and duration of intimate relationship were statistically significant among those affected by chlamydia infection.

Response of Microbes Against Spice Extracts-A way to Cope with Antibiotic Resistance by Sahar S in Cohesive Journal of Microbiology & Infectious Disease
https://crimsonpublishers.com/cjmi/fulltext/CJMI.000554.php
Numerous cultures of microorganisms comprising fungi, gram negative and gram-positive bacteria were grown against spice extracts to investigate the antimicrobial properties of these extracts. The results disclosed that ceftriaxone antibiotic was found effective for Enterobacter aerogenes bacterial strains and gentamicin have inhibitory effects against soil bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, while fungal strains remained resistant against the antibiotics. Use of spice extracts showed that using chili and cumin results in the inhibition of Enterobacter aerogenes growth while soil borne bacteria can be controlled by cumin extract. Staphylococcus aureus remained impervious against any extract. The fungi Aspergillus Niger was positively controlled by the extract of cinnamon. Maximum antioxidant activity was recorded 0.57% in cinnamon, whereas phenolic contents regarding cumin red chili and cinnamon in methanol extract was recorded as 0.098%, 0.094% and 0.096% respectively. In case of flavonoid, data disclosed that in water extracts cumin had flavonoid contents about 0.63%, while in methanol extracts cinnamon and red chili had more flavonoid contents recording as 0.959% and 1.98% respectively. The biochemical analyses revealed that the higher phenolic and flavonoid contents along with antioxidant activity in cumin, red chilies and cinnamon may be the main reason behind sturdy inhibitory effect against microbes.
